Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to investigate if intramuscular PEG-asparaginase administered either at six or two week intervals from day 92 until 8 months from diagnosis for patients with non-HR ALL will result in equal probability of Event Free Survival

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Drug: PEG Asparaginase at six weeks interval Drug: PEG Asparaginase at two weeks interval Phase 3

Detailed Description:

20% of children with ALL still fails to be cured. The ALL-2008 protocol is a treatment and research protocol that aims to improve the overall outcome of Nordic children and adolescents with ALL in comparison with the ALL-2000 protocol and previous NOPHO protocols.

The specific and primary objectives of the randomised study is:

To test if intramuscular PEG-asparaginase administered either at six or two week intervals from day 92 until 8 months from diagnosis for patients with non-HR ALL will result in equal probability of EFS. As secondary endpoints asparaginase antibody production and toxicity including allergic reactions in the treatment-arms will be analysed

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: PEG-asparaginase 6 weeks intervals

PEG-asparaginase (1.000 IU/m2/dose) given at six weeks intervals (from week 13 after diagnosis to week 33).

All additional therapy (High Dose Methotrexate, Vincristin, Dexamethasone, 6-Mercaptopurine, doxorubicin, intrathecal chemotherapy) is the same in both arms.

 Drug: PEG Asparaginase at six weeks interval
PEG-asparaginase (1.000 IU/m2/dose) given at six weeks intervals (until the patient has received 33 weeks of therapy)
Other Name: Oncaspar (PEG-Asparaginase)
Active Comparator: PEG-Asparaginase 2 weeks intervals

PEG-asparaginase (1.000 IU/m2/dose) given at two weeks intervals (from week 13 after diagnosis to week 33).

All additional therapy (High Dose Methotrexate, Vincristin, Dexamethasone, 6-Mercaptopurine, doxorubicin, intrathecal chemotherapy) is the same in both arms.

 Drug: PEG Asparaginase at two weeks interval
PEG-asparaginase (1.000 IU/m2/dose) given at two weeks intervals (until the patient has received 33 weeks of therapy)
Other Name: Oncaspar (PEG-Asparaginase)

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Event Free Survival [ Time Frame: 6 years ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Secondary Outcome Measures are toxicity (special focus on thrombosis, pancreatitis, and allergic reactions), the formation of silent antibodies, and the influence of antibody production on the EFS. [ Time Frame: 6 years ]
